God will turn my messes into messages. I love that! My teachings this morning were all about reinforcing the fact that when we choose God, we are many times rejected by man. Friends, family, all man. I feel that. I feel judged and I know I am criticized behind my back, even by members of my own family. But I choose to love and I choose to not allow them to define me like the world does. The world defines you by your status and bank account and career. But that does not have any weight in the kingdom of God. I lived 45 years of my life in this world and I have made a promise to God that I will live the rest of my years living with Him and in His world. That does not mean that I am going to hide away until He comes. No! I will not have any fear. If someone criticizes me and I hear about it, I need to shake it off. I need to remember that those opinions, no matter how hurtful, are not a part of my life. For no opinion is needed where you do not have responsibility. I am most at peace now. Most happy now. Most gracious now. Do I have sad days? Absolutely? Do I have days of regret? Not anymore because the enemy loves to use regret from our past and fear for our future so NO, not anymore. For now, I live for God. And God has a plan for me......God is my rock....my future and my present. Greater is He who is in me, than he that is in this world. Amen!
1 John 4:4
May the Lord grant my sister, Robin Lee, peace beyond understanding at this time of grief on the sudden loss of her older brother at the young age of 49. For we shall rejoice that he is living amongst all the angels and God above now. He is now....an angel of God! Glory be to God!
